How we handle kitchen sink repair in Shawlands
If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it generally needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. Common call-outs are for chipped door and drawer edges and damage from fitting or moving appliances, on gloss and matt cupboard doors, cabinet ends & plinths and composite sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish

- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in Shawlands and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common questions in Shawlands
Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?
Yes. We often repair chips on the rim, front and around the waste.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Shawlands included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair cupboard doors?
Yes. Chips, dents and scuffs are repaired on most door finishes.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
